After Action Report
The Lakers held off the Magic 96-88. The Magic couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Lakers. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Lakers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
